🇮🇶 Iraq for 🇪🇬 EG citizens

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the intended date of entry and contain at least 2 blank pages for entry/exit stamps, as commonly required for Iraq e‑Visa applications. Unclear or low‑quality scans (blurry, cropped, black‑and‑white) are frequently rejected and can delay processing. Federal Iraq consular and e‑Visa channels require a passport valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay with blank pages for visa and entry stamps. For consular visas, the original passport is usually submitted; for e‑Visas, a high‑quality scan is uploaded and the passport is presented on arrival.

Iraqi embassies commonly require two recent passport‑type photos for visa stickers; exact count can vary by mission. Photos must be professional quality; snapshots or low‑resolution images are often rejected.

Iraqi consular guidance and third‑party visa services require an itinerary or e‑ticket showing applicant’s name, arrival and departure dates, and flight details. Authorities often advise not to purchase non‑refundable tickets until the visa is issued.

Many Iraqi embassies and e‑Visa intermediaries require hotel bookings or an invitation letter as part of the tourist visa application. Invitation letters should typically include host’s full name, address, contact details, and confirmation of responsibility for accommodation.

Iraq e‑Visa FAQs and consular checklists commonly require bank statements for the last 3 months to demonstrate financial means. Applicants may also submit pay slips or employer letters as supplementary proof of income if requested.

Some Iraqi embassies and visa agencies request an employment letter to demonstrate ties to the applicant’s country of residence and intention to return. Self‑employed applicants may provide business registration documents or tax returns instead.

While often described as recommended rather than strictly mandatory, many visa services advise carrying proof of travel medical insurance for Iraq. Policy should clearly list the applicant as the insured person and show coverage dates overlapping the planned trip.
